The Sword of the Lictor Book Description: “The most extraordinary science fiction book of the last fifty years. The Book of the New Sun is the work closest to being In Search of Lost Time in science fiction literature.” Neil Gaiman Locus Best Fantasy Novel AwardAugust Derleth Best Novel of the Year Award “Sometimes I Can See From A Boy's Eyes That He Will Become A Worried Man In The Future.” Gene Wolfe, known as the Melville of science fiction, is one of the rare writers who pushes the boundaries of speculative literature, manages to create science from fantasy and fantasy from science, and produces equally magnificent works in every field of the genre. We are now approaching the end of this mysterious journey in The Sword of the Lictor, the third volume of the New Sun Book, also known as the Ulysses of science fiction, in which Wolfe uses the possibilities of language and genre to the fullest. Hundreds of thousands of years from now. However, it is a future that is no different from the past. Today's culture and events are not even a memory anymore. The planet has undergone changes in unexpected and mysterious ways. The Sun's life has come to an end, it is going out. Torturer Severian eventually reached Thrax, the City of Windowless Rooms, where he was exiled. However, he will have to leave this place because of his conscience, and a boy with whom he is a namesake will accompany him on his journey across the mountains. In this volume of the series, Severian will continue on his way with his sword Terminus Est, as majestic as fate itself, and his gem of a mighty light, the Claw, defeat the monsters he encounters, learn a little more about the past of this ruined world, and encounter some old faces again. The sun will surely die one day. And the New Sun will surely rise one day. The Sword of the Lictor is the book of right and wrong that cannot be separated with a single move.
